Not completely.  I still get an empty Column if I:

self.servers = Column([])

then run the code below.  There must be some property or method that causes the column/window to be resized according to its contents.  It looks like calling shrink_wrap() will resize that one Column but then the parent Row and its parent Window don't resize.  I must be doing something wrong because I doubt that manual geometry management is a goal of PyGUI.

Thanks,
Steve
